Why isn't Tron out on DVD?

It seems like Netflix has it in their database. And the deluxe edition DVD is available on eBay for $36.
It is out. i have owned a copy for years
If anyone wants to see the original Tron, it's on Youtube. I just saw it.
I think I understand what Disney's worries are, but man, as a child of the 80's/90's I don't care about what the graphics look like. I loved this movie, and the creativity, and the graphics. Nice to see Boxlietner in something other than Babylon 5, and now I can really look forward to seeing Tron Legacy.
So Glad I just did that. And the end song is by Journey. Fantastic.
Edit:
Was Power Rangers based on Tron? I ask because the only thing I found corny about this movie (Even by my standards which are small) was the end scene with the MCP. Let's just say the one thing the MCP reminded me of was Zordon from the original Power Rangers. Either that, or something I saw in South Park (Or some other animated series), but PR was the first thing I thought of.

They took some ideas from Tron, but it's mostly just put the Japanese show through a shredder, glued the remains back together, added American actors and slapped a new label on the whole thing.
Just search for "Tron Break 1"
What!?!
Dude...the special features are fantastic! It shows all the animation work Lispberger did in his career leading up to Tron, and has an extensive making of documentary that is like 2 hours long, with old and new (at the time) interviews. It's a great set.
Or "Tron HD" if you don't want the Spanish Subtitles

There may have been better features in there than what I watched. I only kept the disc for one night and glanced at some of the features. I may have just glossed over the "good stuff" but, really, special features don't do much for me.
Blink and you'll miss him, but Peter Jurasik was in there too.

So why complain about them?
Where?
I love that movie. Maybe I should spool up the DVD again tonight. 
What would this character be named? I like DIMM personally.
South Park did a take of the MCP. Think it was from a very early ep where Kyle goes to Jewbilee Camp.
Reverend previously provided the character's name: Crom.

"Remember Flynn, crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of the women!"
How is the transfer on the existing DVD? Disney can be a bit inconsistent about that. I'm still waiting for a non-shitty version of The Rocketeer.
If Disney thinks that about Tron, then they probably shouldn't have, you know, MADE A FUCKING SEQUEL TO IT!!!!!
It mostly seems to apply to their classic animated films. It's still pretty easy to find some of their newer CGI releases like Meet the Robinsons & Monsters Inc. Then there's their live action films that seem to be in fairly continuous release, like Hocus Pocus, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, & The Mighty Ducks.
I was going crazy looking at all the used stores to find a copy of The Little Mermaid for my sister. All I could find was the DTV sequels. But somehow I lucked out. An ex-coworker of mine happened to remember seeing a copy just come in at the store where he worked, sold to them in brand new, unopened condition. I think I ended up paying less than $8 for it.
There wasn't a really big push to rerelease or re-market the Terminator films last year but they were around quite a bit. In particular, I saw tons of copies of the new bare-bones single-sided release of The Terminator with the holographic cover. (Yet another in 20th Century Fox's long line of endless rereleases where all they do is reduce the bonus features & mildly tweak the packaging.) Meanwhile, when Terminator 3 first came out in theaters, Artisan made sure to cash in on it with a new Extreme Edition of Terminator 2.
